  10 bit vs 8 bit

  Posted by Bruno Silva on January 30, 2009 at 6:16 pm

  Clients will often ask for Uncompressed versions of the work we’ve done. We always deliver 8 bit uncompressed, but I’m not clear on the different between the 8 and 10 bit uncompressed. Can anyone give me a simple explanation..thanks.

  8bit = 256 levels of colour

  10bit = 1024 levels of colour

  In other words 10bit has 4x the amount of colour fidelity
